Wedbush Securities' managing director Dan Ives has reiterated his bullish views on Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) despite tense relations between U.S. President Donald Trump and CEO Elon Musk.
What Happened: "Trump/Musk going from BFFs to frenemies does not change our bullish view of the autonomous path looking forward," Ives said in a post on social media platform X on Sunday.
The Tesla bull then shared how he still expects President Trump to introduce a federal regulatory framework for autonomous driving in the country, something that CEO Musk has pushed for in the past.

Why It Matters: Ives' views come in following Musk's outburst on the social media platform X, where he had criticized the president over his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45635854/elon-musk-disappointed-with-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-says-it-undermines-the-work-that-the-doge-team-is-doing">Big Beautiful Bill</a>, which subsequently led to Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/movers-shakers/25/06/45807280/elon-musk-bleeds-34-billion-as-tesla-shares-tank-14-amid-spat-with-trump-how-the-billionaires-fortune-has-fared-so-far-in-2025">losing over $153 billion</a> in market capitalization.

"It's going very well, never done better," he said, hinting at a possible reconciliation between the two.

University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers says critics who claim economists are &#8220;terrible forecasters&#8221; should read his co-authored textbook from 2020, which he insists foretold the very public clash between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump.
What Happened: Wolfers wrote on X that the 2020 Stevenson-Wolfers Principles of Economics textbook warns budget battles can turn "vicious … even among colleagues who normally consider themselves friends," a sentence he says "prophesied the Musk-Trump tiff.

Wolfers' post on X follows a similar one from the co-author of the economics book he was referring to. Betsey Stevenson, former chief economist at the U.S. Labor Department, wrote Saturday that she is working on revising her chapter on &#8220;fiscal policy&#8221; in an upcoming edition of the &#8216;Principles of Economics&#8216; textbook but will keep the line about "vicious fights" erupting during budget prep. Why It Matters: The Musk-Trump tiff Wolfers referenced in his X post escalated on June 3 when Musk blasted House Republicans' 1,100-page spending plan as a "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45757029/elon-musk-slams-congressional-spending-bill-as-a-disgusting-abomination">disgusting abomination</a>" and warned new tariffs would trigger recession.

The feud rattled markets, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45827390/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession-up">erasing $152 billion</a> from Tesla's value in one session and prompting activists to warn Trump could "hurt Elon's businesses."
Political analysts trace Musk's break with Trump to disputes over EV tax credits and budget deficits, with insults trading on X and Truth Social through June 6. As things stand, the spat&nbsp;between the two&nbsp;appears to have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45829923/trump-and-musk-aides-have-spoken-as-tensions-cool-between-the-billionaire-and-the-president">taken a pause</a>.

Ex-Goldman Executive On Circle's 168% IPO Spike: Don't Rush To Buy Stock As Bankers Engineer A ‘Pop' — Cites Facebook Example
Former Goldman Sachs executive and Web3 entrepreneur Dom Kwok advised against investing in Circle Internet Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRL#NYSE">CRL</a>) following its bumper listing, suggesting investors wait for the lockup period to end.
What Happened: In an X post dated Friday, Kwok, co-founder of EasyA, share his investment advice regarding the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45821941/circle-crcl-stock-surges-after-successful-ipo-debut-whats-going-on">recent initial public offering</a> of&nbsp;the stablecoin issuing company. He cautioned investors against buying into the hype created by the engineered &#8220;pop&#8221; on IPO day.
&#8220;As we just saw with Circle&#8217;s 168% pop, this sharp price increase creates huge excitement and bullish sentiment around the company. All eyes focus on the stock, drawing more investors in and driving price higher. but don&#8217;t fall for it,&#8221; Kwok said.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Kwok advised retail investors to wait 90-180 days after the IPO to invest, allowing for price discovery and the end of the lockup period.
&#8220;When the lockup period ends, insiders and early investors typically sell their shares, causing lots of selling pressure and pushing price down. this typically gives long-term retail investors a great opportunity to buy shares at a discount,&#8221; Kwok added. In the case of Circle, the lockup period is 180 days.
Kwok also cited the example of Facebook, which was later rebranded as Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). After a blockbuster IPO, t<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/12/11/3095295/more-than-70-of-investors-dislike-facebook">he shares hit new lows </a>as the lockup period ended.
While several users backed Kwok&#8217;s analysis, WilliamNextLvl who described themselves as having &#8220;stock investing expertise,&#8221; differed, saying, &#8220;The IPO market is smoking hot right now. Ride the momentum.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Circle&#8217;s IPO was indeed a sensation, with shares popping 168% on its Wall Street debut. Seasoned investor Cathie Wood deemed the IPO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/ipos/25/06/45819104/cathie-wood-calls-circles-ipo-an-amazing-debut">an &#8220;amazing debut,&#8221;</a> with her firm ARK Invest bagging hundreds of millions worth of the company&#8217;s shares.
The acquisition&nbsp;could point to&nbsp;Ark's bullish outlook on the stablecoin sector as Circle is the issuer of the world&#8217;s second-largest stablecoin by market capitalization, USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>).
Price Action:&nbsp; Shares of Circle closed 29% higher at $107.70 during Friday&#8217;s regular trading session, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Multiple Waymo Vehicles Set On Fire During Los Angeles Anti-ICE Protests, Elon Musk Says 'This Is Not Ok'

On Sunday, Pierre Ferragu, an analyst at New Street Research, criticized Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) research paper on Large Reasoning Models (LRMs), calling the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45260075/apple-teams-up-with-ai-startup-anthropic-to-integrate-claude-sonnet-into-xcode-challenging-microsofts-github-copilot">company's approach to the AI revolution</a> misguided.&nbsp;
What Happened: Ferragu shared his thoughts on X, formerly Twitter, stating, "Apple has its head in the sand. Instead of embracing the revolution, they deny its very existence."
He went on to say that Apple's paper, titled "The Illusion of Thinking: Understanding the Strengths and Limitations of Reasoning Models via the Lens of Problem Complexity," suffers from "ontological nonsense."&nbsp;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45826757/apple-may-launch-new-hardware-at-wwdc-2025-mac-pro-homepad-airtag-2-expected">Apple May Launch New Hardware At WWDC 2025: Mac Pro, HomePad, AirTag 2 Expected</a>
The analyst argued that human reasoning is inherently subjective and cannot be simplified into easily measured models.
Ferragu's critique stemmed from Apple's findings that frontier LRMs, while showing improved performance on reasoning benchmarks, still have major limitations, including a collapse in accuracy with increasing task complexity.

Despite promises of revamping Siri and advancing AI, many features have faced delays or don't work properly.
Previously, it was reported that internal tensions and a cautious approach are partly to blame. Apple's slower progress is also attributed to fewer GPU acquisitions, its strong privacy stance and a perfectionist culture that delays launches.

Pierre Ferragu Takes Apple To Task For Dismissing The AI Revolution: 'Has Its Head In The Sand'

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman is once again highlighting what he sees as one of the Federal Government&#8217;s most overlooked assets, its stake in mortgage finance giants, the Federal National Mortgage Association (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>) or Fannie Mae, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>), or Freddie Mac.
What Happened: Speaking at the 2025 Forbes Iconoclast Summit last week, Ackman called them &#8220;two remarkable businesses,&#8221; referring to their $7 trillion in mortgage guarantees, on which they collect 65 basis points in annual fees. 
According to Ackman, the founder of Pershing Square Holdings Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSHZF#OTC">PSHZF</a>), &#8220;the government's interest in Fannie and Freddie is worth approaching $300 billion,&#8221; but he believes they are not going to give it up, while criticizing their 16-year-long conservatorship which prevents them from operating as private corporations.
Both firms were brought under the control of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) following their bailout in 2008, and what was initially intended as a temporary measure to stabilize the housing market has since become a permanent arrangement.

Ackman, who was short both companies during the 2008 financial crisis, reversed course in 2012 and has since become one of their most prominent advocates. 
He argues that Fannie and Freddie are now well-capitalized and far safer than they were before the crash, and could help offset the ballooning federal deficits if returned to private hands.
Critics of privatization argue that ending government control could push mortgage rates higher, as the removal of an explicit federal guarantee might lead investors to demand a higher risk premium on mortgage-backed securities.
Ackman, however, has pushed back against this, saying that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are now much better placed, with capital ratios above 2.5%, compared to 0.45% pre-crisis, which he thinks &#8220;would have been enough during the financial crisis had they not gone into subprime.&#8221;
He also emphasized the systemic protections in place, such as &#8220;a belt, suspenders, another belt, and more suspenders,&#8221; referencing the firms' capital levels, backstops from the Treasury, and robust earnings power.
Why It Matters: Ackman&#8217;s Pershing Square has been the largest common stockholder in both entities for 13 years and has been a vocal advocate for ending the conservatorship for some time.
Recently, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45764818/bill-ackman-urges-end-to-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-conservatorship-says-will-enable-them-to-operate-more-successfully-and-efficiently">called for the cancellation</a> of $348.2 billion in Senior Preferred Stock liability on the company&#8217;s balance sheets, which he labeled as &#8220;fictitious.&#8221;
He said, &#8220;The government has been paid more than it was contractually owed under the extremely onerous terms of the SPS,&#8221; referring to the $301 billion being paid back of the original $191 billion invested by the government, resulting in an 11.6% annualized return for taxpayers. 
Ackman had, in fact, recommended both companies as investments back in December, saying that he expects them to exit conservatorship <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42734220/bill-ackman-sends-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-stocks-soaring-trump-likes-big-deals">under the Trump administration</a>, while adding that he sees &#8220;large asymmetric upside versus downside,&#8221; which sent the stocks soaring.
Just as he had predicted two weeks ago, President Donald Trump said that he was giving &#8220;very serious consideration&#8221; to taking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/05/45557031/trump-considers-taking-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-public-calls-mortgage-giants-very-profitable-says-timing-seems-right">Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public</a>.
&#8220;Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are doing very well, throwing off a lot of CASH, and the time would seem to be right,&#8221; Trump said.
Price Action: Shares of Pershing Square Holdings were down 0.31% on Friday, trading at $52.62, while Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were up 0.67% and 4.17% during the day, respectively.

Bill Ackman Says US Sitting On A $300 Billion Gold Mine With Freddie Mac And Fannie Mae—But 'The Government's Not Going To Give It Up'

Two-thirds of Gen Z say critics, including their parents, call them reckless spenders and half insist schools, not impulse, set them up for failure.
What Happened: A new Young Enterprise/HSBC survey finds that family members supply most of the side-eye (39%) while social media delivers another 17%. Yet, the poll data, <a href="https://www.ftadviser.com/next-generation-of-advice/2025/6/3/nearly-65-of-gen-z-feel-judged-about-how-they-manage-their-money/">reported</a> by FTAdviser, a publication from the Financial Times, shows 48% of respondents blame weak classroom lessons for budgets that collapse under concert tickets and caviar nights, and 22% now rely on "finfluencers" for money advice.
High prices make matters worse. One-quarter of 19-to-28-year-olds say paychecks no longer cover basic costs. Parents fill the gap. Roughly 50% still fund at least one adult child and shell out an average of $1,813 a month for rent, groceries and phone bills, a Savings.com study shows.
Gen Z counters that formal instruction would cut the guilt. Consumer advocates agree, arguing that mandatory personal-finance classes reduce debt and late fees for graduates. More than 20 U.S. states now require such courses, but most mandates took effect after today's 20-somethings left high school.

Long-term, the money picture brightens: Bank of America projects Gen Z's global income will soar from $9 trillion in 2023 to $36 trillion by 2030 and $74 trillion by 2040, making them history's wealthiest cohort.
Why It Matters: In an era of rising prices and economic uncertainty, it might come as a surprise to learn that many young Americans continue to prioritize &#8220;fun&#8221; over funds. According to a recent Credit Karma report, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45482962/some-45-of-gen-z-say-theyd-rather-cut-savings-than-give-up-eating-out-have-spending-priorities-gone-off-track">nearly half</a> would trim long-term savings before skipping restaurant meals, and 87% now treat items like streaming, skincare, and dining out as necessities rather than luxuries.
When it comes to money lessons, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/05/45540111/gen-z-swaps-wall-street-for-fintok-70-now-take-money-advice-from-social-media-surveys-show">young adults scroll</a> instead of sitting in class. An H&amp;R Block survey shows one-third of Gen Z relies on TikTok and similar feeds for financial advice, and a Charles Schwab poll pushes that share to 72% when it includes other websites and apps.

Gen Z Feels Judged For Their Money Decisions And Half Faults Schools For Budget Blowups, Finds Poll

SpaceX and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk flexed the company's rockets amid a war of words with President Donald Trump on Sunday. What Happened: On Sunday, Musk took to X, formerly Twitter and said, "Whatever happens, we have got the spaceships, and they do not."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Notably, Musk&#8217;s comments came after the tech mogul conducted a poll on X, where he asked his over 220 million followers about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45830251/elon-musks-political-party-to-launch-in-2025-odds-rise-on-polymarket-the-crypto-betting-market-now-partnered-with-x">forming a new political party</a> in the U.S. An overwhelming 80.4% responded in favor.
Responding to Musk's post, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) replied, "I don't know if I'm part of ‘we' but I would like to formally disassociate myself from the group herein referred to as ‘they.'"
Musk quickly said, "You're definitely not ‘they' and are welcome to be part of ‘we'," to which Massie responded with, &#8220;Count me in."

The rift between Musk and Trump could have serious <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">implications for Musk's companies</a>, including Tesla and SpaceX, the billionaire's space technology company, particularly if threats to revoke federal contracts and subsidies are carried out.
Tesla&#8217;s market capitalization dropped by a record $152 billion, knocking the company out of the $1 trillion club following Musk's public criticism of Trump's &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221;
Adding to the pressure, former White House official Steven Bannon has called for a federal investigation into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45829875/elon-musk-reportedly-slammed-into-scott-bessent-like-a-rugby-player-after-being-called-a-fraud-trump-said-this-is-too-much">Musk's immigration status</a>, even suggesting that the South African-born U.S. citizen should be deported.&nbsp;
He also called on Trump to seize control of SpaceX. He said that he is not asking for the nationalization of SpaceX, but the administration should make sure that the company is not spearheaded by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/05/45700477/elon-musk-was-using-drugs-while-on-campaign-trail-with-trump-including-ecstasy-and-psychedelic-mushrooms">someone who has drug issues</a>.
